Indigenous playwright Reneltta Arluk re-imagines Shakespeare’s darkest play using Cree history, legend, and cosmology. Set in Plains Cree territory in the 1870s, harsh environments bring immense fear, starvation, and uncertainty together to awaken the darkest of Cree spirits, the Witiko—an evil being with an insatiable appetite for human flesh.
